I am a freelance social media manager & video editor based in Iowa but I help clients all over the world! I have been a social media manager for 5 years and was a virtual assistant before that. Most of my clients have been with me for a few years, as I've been able to get them amazing results and a return on their monthly investment. As I've scaled and have taken on new clients, I started to build my team that I trained myself and we have expanded our services from social media marketing to also include email marketing, landing pages, lead magnets, building courses, launches, and more! If you're overwhelmed with the knowledge, time, and effort it takes to grow and sell on social media, then I want to help you! I have helped several online service providers grow their social media following full of TARGETED audiences who then convert into sales. Additionally, I have planned several launch strategies resulting in $20k-$80k launches with strategic email marketing, content planning, and targeted messaging. How does it work? I research, script, plan, edit, and post all of your content for you (or as much as you'll let me) and all you have to do is dedicate 2-4 hours per month to film the content I plan for you. What are you waiting for? Let's chat!

I’m a full time digital marketer with an extensive background of 10+ years in social media, email marketing, and campaign management and operations. I would love to be able to use my skills on the side to help you out! I specialize in SEO, Google, Marketo, Demandbase, LinkedIn, Meta and Adroll, Consistent communication is important to me along with deadlines- let’s keep in touch and get things done! I am also a mom of 3 little kiddos. That means I am very good at time management, automation, efficiencies, and getting things done. If you want to find a way to get things done- hire a mom! :)

I help founders, creators, and startups build communities that actually feel alive, where people show up, participate, and stick around. I focus on the strategy, structure, and everyday leadership of your audience and community spaces, and then plug into hands‑on support when you need it most (launches, new offers, busy seasons). Here’s what I can help you with: - Running and optimising your communities (Discord, Skool, Circle, private groups) so conversations are easy to start and hard to ignore. - Turning what your audience is already saying (questions, feedback, DMs, comments) into content ideas, offers, and simple community rituals. - Leading or supporting day‑to‑day engagement during key moments, keeping threads and DMs moving in a way that feels human, not scripted. - Researching and scouting the right people to bring into your world—creators, community partners, or collaborators—and doing the first outreach in a way that feels personal and on‑brand. Before this, I taught photo retouching at a professional academy in Italy, which trained me to pay attention to how things *feel*, not just how they look. I’ve also built my own small group of clients online and had people return years later because they missed that feeling of being seen and cared for. If your audience or community feels a bit flat, or you just don’t have the bandwidth to show up the way you want to, that’s usually where I fit best.

I write the old-fashioned way: USING MY BRAIN! I do not use automated means of generating any content. Rock-Star Writer. You asked for one, you got one! Just be aware that I may also charge rock-star rates. I can provide clips from 20+ years of online content creation experience, since before UpWork. More about my work: • WordPress manager / editor * eCommerce site manager • Virtual assistant • Social media manager • Researcher • Consultant • Graphic Design * Video Production and Editing * Podcasts * Published books * Syndicated comic strip I've filled every position from being part of Fortune 500 companies to innovative start-ups in new industries to homespun artisan projects. With that said, I have to be selective about projects because this is my full-time career where I maintain multiple clients to keep my schedule full.

Want to advance your business through Social Media but don't have the time or don't know how? If so, you aren’t alone. The problem that most business owners have with Social Media is not having enough time to post engaging and relevant content that can prevent them from targeting the right audience and reaching their business goals. This makes it difficult to reach the right demographic, especially if they have limited resources. Luckily, this is exactly what I do for clients. I help eCommerce businesses, fashion brands, and food businesses establish and promote their brand through Social Media so you can focus your time on other important aspects of your business, like product development or increasing profits. And unlike some "experts", I don't use a cookie-cutter approach… I learn about your business and your clients, and develop a Social Media Management strategy that will work for YOU. And if you need help in that department… Let's have a chat and get started. Now, if you’re still not 100% convinced this will be worth your investment, I understand. We could always start off with a small project with shared risk and then keep going if you're happy with my work. Chances are that you'll be more than happy. We can schedule a FREE consultation call. Looking forward to hearing from you!
